About

An industrial product designer with a love of CAD. Ever optimistic, I believe all product-user experiences should be designed not just with satisfaction in mind, but enjoyment, and - wherepossible - fun. Blending uplifting user experience with lifelong quality designs is what I’ve set out to achieve.

'Gull wing' laptop stand

Specialisms:

Furniture Product Design

Based on a piece of outdoors seating the designer saw somewhere in the world, and carried by its namesake in the gull-wing aerofoils present on certain historical aircraft. The center shelf - intended to facilitate a monitor or laptop - overhangs a space for stowing a keyboard when more desk space is needed. The longitudinal slots running down the design sit under the laptop fans to help with cooling. The “wing” shelves provide additional space for display/storage, and can overhang any desk’s perimeter, making it suitable for surfaces of any size.
